Boss. What's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? Ugh. It's what is it about? And why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved? For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we, Vince. The Lapsed Fan podcast. Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to people like Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew, these are men that have two different faces. They have a face that they wear in public, the one that's acceptable. And then of course, they have a whole different face when the lights are off and nobody's watching. And when the mask slips, the monster is exposed. And when it comes to people like Andrew and Peter Mandelson have the audacity to show up to some child abuse event just weeks before they were seen in bathrobes hanging out at Jeffrey Epstein's. Oh yeah, we care so much about the kids. Let's go and hang out with a kid. Diddler. What is wrong with these people? And why do they think that anybody on this planet is going to believe anything that they have to say? Mandelson, Andrew, anybody like them? I think they're all lying. And I think they know a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein and what Jeffrey Epstein was up to then they'll ever admit. And that's why I think these probes are super important. Now, of course, that doesn't mean that I'm 100 certain that we're going to be shot straight by the investigations, but I'd much rather see some kind of investigation than none. Maybe, just maybe, somebody that's investigating still has a moral compass that works. And maybe they're not going to put up with the of trying to cover this up. So that's what I'm hoping for, a whistleblower that ends up being a hero. Because that's how we get these people. At the end of the day, somebody's gonna have to turn and somebody is gonna have to play ball. The question is, who are they gonna put the screws to to get to that point? This article was published by the sun and the headline, new picture shows disgraced Andrew with Mandelson at kids charity event weeks after a meeting for the first time. This article was authored by Oscar Jaeger. And look what they'll say is, oh, when this happened, Jeffrey Epstein wasn't even under any kind of suspicion. Nobody knew what Jeffrey Epstein was. Meanwhile. That's not true. There's been talk about what Epstein was since at the very least 1995 when Maria Farmer reported him. So don't tell me people didn't know about Epstein. And remember, we're not talking about your friend Joe. We're talking about the Prince of freaking England and Peter Mandelson. But sure, they had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was. Right? Right. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Peter Mandelson meet for the first time at a lunch to discuss ending child abuse just weeks before they were seen in bathrobes beside pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew and Mandelson were introduced at the lunch for the National Society for the Prevention of cruelty to children, NSPCC in 1999, according to its former director, the Sunday Times reported. And they just love to throw it in your face. They know that you know and they don't care because guess what? Nothing's ever going to happen. And the reason that I say that so confidently is because history has proven that right. And like I always tell you, I'd love to be wrong, I'll be the first one showing up doing the happy dance, saying that I was wrong. You see, this isn't about being right all the time. It's about getting as close to the truth as possible. Even if that means reevaluating how you look at the whole entire story due to new evidence. That's how an investigation works, right? You compile evidence, you go through that evidence and you follow it wherever it leads. It was held in a room at Buckingham palace for the NSPCC Full Stop campaign aimed at changing public attitudes to child cruelty. Where they ate place in a nice cream sauce, whatever that means. And changing the public attitude. What? Who in the public thinks child abuse is? Okay, it would seem to me the only People that think it's okay are the elected officials that all of us have put in these offices. And it doesn't matter if it's America or the uk, none of these people care about you. Mandelson was vice chair of the Full Stop campaign for the NSPCC while Andrew was the chair. In an interview with hello magazine and in which he appeared with Nicole Kidman, Andrew said on his appointment as a father of two young children, I simply cannot sit back and do Nothing. Hopefully in 20 years time everyone will be able to pat themselves on the back. Well, not you, Andrew. I guess you only mean your kids, right? Not everybody else's. Certainly not Virginia. You didn't give a about her, right? Same age as your daughter, basically. No big deal. Yeah, bring her on over, Jeffy. Sick degenerate fuck. If anyone deserves what's happening to them now, it's Prince Andrew. And I truly believe that everything about Andrew disgusts me. Literally everything. Since those roles, both Mandelson and Andrew have been linked to Epstein and subsequently both been charged with misconduct in public office by the police. And I would hope that the investigation keeps expanding. Like they say, it is pretty important. You have to kick in every door. And when we're talking about somebody like Andrew, who the knows what you're going to find, right? I mean, the guy was palling around with some of the worst people in the world. Not just Epstein, but some of the worst people in the world. In bed with Chinese spies. These like clandestine princes and shakes from the Middle East. All kinds of undesirable characters and all for one purpose. More money. That's all Andrew cared about. Me, me, me. That's why him and Jeffrey Epstein were perfect for each other. Looking back, Giles Pegram, the former director of fundraising at the NSPCC responsible for the Full Stop campaign, said it's horrible. Can anyone blame me for having brought Andrew and Mandelson together, given the circumstances at the time? No, I certainly don't blame Giles Pegram. He didn't know. And at the time, Mandelson and Andrew were supposedly upstanding citizens, right? Andrew some big war hero from the Falkland Islands, Mandelson a fixture in English politics. So yeah, I could completely see trying to get them to come in and support whatever kind of charity or initiative that you're working on. Sounds like a good idea until you find out that both of them are absolute animals as well. Do I regret it? Yes, obviously I do. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have done it. If there was a scandal that was related to children, we wouldn't have come within a mile of it. Well, that would be a good idea for an organization protecting children. Not exactly the kind of publicity that you want. He added, on a personal basis. As a director of the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to children for 30 years, I am absolutely horrified that on one visit he could be helping the NSPCC one moment and then going off with Jeffrey Epstein the next. I mean, that just sort of gives me horror, personally. Well, that's how they're made. That's how they're cut, and that's why they wear the two masks. And do you remember all the masks that were at Jeffrey Epstein's house on the island? I think that might have something to do with it. And I'm cooking up an episode right now putting those pieces together. It's a fascinating psychological journey, but there is zero doubt that these people have two different faces. They have that face, like I said earlier, for the public. And then once that mask is ripped off, when those cameras are off and there's no one there to see, well, that's when the beast emerges. If I'd known what I know now, he would have never been appointed chair and there would have never have been a meeting with Mandelson. And look, I don't blame this organization. Remember, this was in 99. The blame should be on Andrew and Mandelson. They should have done a better job when it comes to vetting the people they're with. This is the benefit of hindsight. There is nothing that I could have known at the time that would have caused me not to have him as chair and not to have Mandelson as vice chair. I devoted 30 years of my career to preventing cruelty to children. So first and foremost, my concerns are with the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. It's absolutely unforgivable, and nothing in the past can make that right. And my man is on point with that. There's no fixing it. Right. The damage has been done. But as far as closure goes, the best way to get there is to hold people accountable, and we know that hasn't happened yet. Mandelson and Andrew have denied any wrongdoing. The NSPCC said the appalling revelations that have continued to come to light through the publication of the Epstein files have exposed the world of power, privilege, and wealth, where vulnerable women and girls were ruthlessly targeted, exploited, trafficked, and sexually abused. Jeffrey Epstein was at the center of this criminal web, but it remains essential that anyone else involved in the abuse of women and girls is also held to account and faces justice. Yeah. And not just the people that took part in the abuse. I'm talking about everybody that enabled it. If there were crimes committed, whether they're financial or otherwise, people should be charged, people should be investigated, people should be indicted, and people should go to prison. Our thoughts are with all the victims in this terrible case, many of whom have been speaking out for years and are only now being fully heard. They deserve justice and support as they've been ignored and dismissed for far too long. Their voices must be at the center of what happens next. And I think that's very important. And I think that's being forgotten when we talk about this portion of the story. We have to make sure that the survivors are centered. They're the ones who were abused. They're the ones who got treated so horribly that it's almost unconscionable. And they most certainly deserve justice. And that has to be the core of the story. Right. But the bigger picture is the COVID up. And I think that if we want to get justice for the people who were hurt the most and the people that were wronged by Epstein's friends, the best way to do that is to follow the COVID up and expose the people that are engaging in that cover up. And I think from there, things just expand. The more questions that are asked, the more doors that are opened. It's understood that the infamous robe photograph in Martha's Vineyard in 99 was the first time Mandelson and Epstein met. So Prince Andrew probably set that up. That's my guess. And what I think is pretty striking here is we see Ghislaine Maxwell doing the same thing, going to the human trafficking, you know, charity events, even though she was doing the same thing. She was trafficking human beings. But she had the audacity to go to the event and try and wrap herself in that armor. And that's one of their favorite tricks. They'll wrap themselves in the armor of a charity or altruistic giving, hoping that that dulls the blow if the blow ever comes about them being a sick, degenerate bastard. And if you go back and you look at all these people that were caught up with Epstein, how many of them tried to use that excuse? But here's the bad news for Epstein's buddies. We're onto them, and nobody out here is dancing to the tune that they're playing anymore. And instead of doing the two step, people are now asking, what did Peter Mendelsohn know? When did he know it? What about Prince Andrew? And most importantly, why was it all ignored? All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
